Track an expense in seconds

Expense tracking fails for one reason more than any other: it takes too long. If logging a coffee takes more than a few seconds, you skip it, and skipped expenses turn a budget into a guess. Tase is built so the whole entry fits in a handful of taps.

Walkthrough: log one expense

1. 1

   Open the Finance tab

   Tap Finance on iPhone, or open tase.app/finance in your browser. The Expenses section is at the top of the view.
2. 2

   Tap add expense

   Enter the amount first. Tase focuses the number pad so you can type the total without hunting for the field.
3. 3

   Pick a category

   Choose a category like Groceries, Transit, or Dining. This is what your budget rolls up against, so pick the one that matches how you think about the spend.
4. 4

   Add an optional note

   A short note like "lunch with Sam" helps later when you are staring at a line item wondering what it was. Skip it if you are in a rush.
5. 5

   Save and check the budget bar

   Tap save. If you have a budget for that category, the remaining amount updates instantly on the same screen.

When the budget bar moves

Each expense subtracts from its category budget in real time. You do not need to open a separate report to see where you stand. The bar is right there the moment you save, which is the feedback loop that keeps tracking honest.

Incomes work the same way

The Incomes section follows the same flow: amount, source, optional note, save. This keeps your net picture balanced instead of showing only the money going out.

The goal is not perfect bookkeeping. It is a budget you can actually trust because every expense gets logged, and every log takes only seconds.
